Pete Lavorato, football coach at Sacred Heart Prep (Atherton, CA), explains how "love can be a motivating force"" in a team's success, a message he took from reading Season of Life by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jeffrey Marx, about former NFL player and PCA National Advisory Board Member Joe Ehrmann. Lavorato talks about how love bonds coaches and players, teammates, and even one coach to another "even though we may not agree on everything."
